TurningPointCT.org was developed by young people in Connecticut who are in recovery from mental health and substance use issues. We know what it’s like to feel alone, stressed, worried, sad, and angry. We’ve lived through the ups and downs of self-harm, drugs and alcohol, and the struggle to find help.

Earlier this month, turningpointct.org participated in discussions relating to bridging the divide at Norwalk Community College. It was a casual conservation on how far we have come, with regards to interracial, interdenominational and intercultural marriages and how further we still need to go. A half century ago, blacks and whites were not allowed to get married in many commonwealth states, a strife that presented many with fear, oppression and ridicule.
Today, the challenge continues and in many other ways. Its not all honky-dory for many who are currently engaged in cross cultural marriages and the social stigma underlining these household relationships have become a common concern for same sex marriages… ‘Bridging the Divide’ at NCC, covered many of these topics and more, see a brief review of the event here: https://turningpointct.org/resources/featured-events/
